I Want Candy

No need to worry about putting on the holiday pudge this year because now you can get lip-smacking sweet treats at Sephora, thanks to Dylan's Candy Bar Re-Treat, a new line of bath and body products from the Queen of Confections herself.

The entire Dylan's Candy Bar Re-Treat collection smells good enough to eat and leaves you with the most irresistible skin you've ever had. From the truly decadent Chocolate Cupcake Lip Saver ($8) to the luxurious Coconut Bon Bon Ice Cream Sugar Scrub ($20) you can indulge without the troublesome worry of calorie counting (save that for the turkey and sweet potato pie!). Head to Sephora now to find your favorite flavor!

Let Them Eat Cake!

I have been MIA, and I'm sorry. It's just that I've been away...on Cloud 9! You see, I had a birthday on the 13th and my darling boy proposed! That's right -- I'm engaged! So you'll have to forgive my absence from Style Goodies.

I also received another gift for my birthday -- a deluxe sample of Sephora Brand Vanilla Cupcake Bubble Bath, just because I signed up to be a Sephora Beauty Insider! The bubble bath (which I used as a shower gel) has the most delicious birthday cake fragrance and contains skin softening aloe vera and jojoba. And while the heavenly aroma of baked treats lingered in my bathroom, it did not linger on my skin so there was no interference with my perfume.

There is a whole collection of Vanilla Cupcake products available at Sephora, and nothing is over $16. I'm after the Dry Oil and the Body Scrub next!

The Art of Shaving

Here's the thing - I love, love, love the feeling of glorious, silky smooth legs after a shave but I hate, nay, utterly detest the actual task of shaving. It is an abominable chore as far as I'm concerned and there is nothing sexy nor glamorous about it. Now, here's the answer to my hang up: The Art of Shaving. I know what you're thinking, and you may be right, but these skin softening and soothing products from The Art of Shaving are so darlingly-packaged you may just forget what you're doing and actually (dare I say) enjoy the task at hand. Just try it...

Pre Shave Oil

Packed with therapeutic essential oils and freshly picked rose petals (hello luxurious!) the Pre-Shave Oil preps skin for the closest, smoothest shave ever and the formula's pure castor and olive oils help the razor to glide easily over your skin.

Shaving Cream

This ultra-rich shaving cream not only lifts hair for a closer shave, it also moisturizes legs, underarms, and bikini lines with glycerin and coconut oil. BONUS: Your gorgeously smooth gams are left with the delicate aroma of roses.

Shaving Brush

Just too cute, no? Just like your face brush, this pure badger brush exfoliates, opens pores, and generates a thick, rich lather for an incredible shave. Plus it's contoured for a woman's curves.

After-Shave Body Milk

Better than any lotion or body cream you've ever used after a shave! This formula contains anti-inflammatory and antiseptic agents to help prevent ingrowns, chamomile and calendula to calm the skin, and tons of nourishing vitamins E and C to replenish lost moisture.

Ingrown Hair Night Cream

Trapped hair be gone! This is truly a miracle cream that soothes skin and helps ingrown hairs break free. A host of good-for-your-skin ingredients like fruit acids, African shea butter and white willow bark exfoliate and improve skin's texture.

And don't forget about your guy! The Art of Shaving has everything he'll need for an incredibly close shave and touchably soft skin.

Caress Exotic Oil Infusions - One Heavenly Shower

I am a sucker for pretty packages so when I spotted this bottle, with its slightly iridescent ruby hue, Japanese script and sweet teardrop shape I had to have it - and I'm so glad I did!I ended my loooong weekend of doing nothing in particular (the best kind, no?) with a steamy, hot shower and my brand new bottle of Caress Exotic Oil Infusions Japanese Cream Oil Body Wash. The rich, creamy formula felt so indulgent and left my skin fragranced with this gorgeously spicy, sweet, yet kinda floral aroma. There is also a Moroccan fragrance, which I found to be a bit more sweet, but the Japanese was perfectly warm and sensual. The fragrance was long-lasting, which I love, and my skin felt moisturized but not filmy. The name is a mouthful (Caress Exotic Oil Infusions Japanese Cream Oil Body Wash - have you ever seen so many words in a title) but at $3.79 a bottle this will definitely be in rotation in my shower. Loved it! Get your free sample here and let me know what you think.
